Description

Empowered to Fail: Creating a Culture of Innovation

In fast-moving industries, innovation can’t happen without risk, and sometimes that means failure. But when failure is seen as a learning tool, it becomes a launchpad for smarter, bolder ideas.

Join us for a dynamic virtual session where UWEBC members will explore how to create cultures that support experimentation, reduce fear, and unlock creativity across teams.

You’ll Hear:

  • Real Member Stories: Discover how companies in sectors like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing are embracing failure to drive innovation.
  • Peer Perspectives: Engage in candid discussions with fellow leaders navigating similar challenges.
  • Practical Tools: Leave with actionable strategies to help your teams test ideas, learn quickly, and innovate with confidence.

At UWEBC, we know the best insights come from shared experience. This is your chance to connect, reflect, and reshape how failure fuels progress in your organization.

Sign up today—and join the conversation that’s changing how we lead innovation.

Participate in Customizing the Agenda: You’ll have the opportunity to play an active part in shaping the agenda for this session – and to maximize its relevance for you – by suggesting and selecting topics for breakout discussions. Once the agenda is complete, you choose the discussions you want to join. This will be a highly interactive session so come prepared to share your questions, challenges and insights!
